Chapter 395 Yuan Shi said (fourth update)
Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was Yuanshi's turn to start preaching.
Yuanshi didn't waste any time, he immediately spoke up and started talking about the Great Way. He was also talking about the Three Thousand Great Ways, not a specific one. He expounded the principles of heaven and earth, the essence of the Great Ways, and pointed directly to the origin of the Great Ways.
"The world must have its rules, which are the way, the way of heaven, and the great road."
"The way of heaven is eternal. It does not exist because of Yao or perish because of Jie. There is only one way for one's body and mind to understand. This is the way of heaven."
"The so-called way of heaven means that all things have their own rules and principles. All things have certain rules, and their external manifestations are the law of conservation of energy."
"Things must have the same truth when looking at their roots. This is also called different paths leading to the same destination. By connecting one path and unifying all ten thousand paths, this path is the way of heaven."
"However, the general idea formed by the Heavenly Dao's understanding of the laws of all things is trustworthy, but not entirely trustworthy. If you rely on the vision of the Heavenly Dao to understand the world, you will lose miserably."
"Those who speak the way of heaven are too many to speak, and those who speak are depraved. Whether the way of heaven sees it or not has nothing to do with the world. The world everyone sees is a different world. The world has no color. If you have feelings, you will have them. color."
Yuan Shi spoke plainly and narrated plainly, as if a pool of light water slowly flowed into everyone's hearts.
If Hongjun talks about the good side of the way of heaven, understanding the methods of the way of heaven and the greatness of the way of heaven, but what Yuanshi talks about is that the way of heaven also has flaws. The way of heaven is not the only truth, and everyone's understanding is different.
It sounded fine to Hongjun at first, but the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Although what Yuanshi said was correct, it was different from his Taoism after all. On the contrary, they were in some ways completely opposite to each other.
But Yuanshi didn't care much and continued to preach his way, which was different from Hongjun's way. Hongjun's way is to control and control everything. He does not allow variables to exist. The appearance of Yuanshi makes him feel crisis.
But Yuanshi's Tao is not like this. His Tao lies in openness. He does not want to control the fate of all people, because that is meaningless. Everyone has their own ideas, and we cannot change or control them.
Everyone can have different views on the same Tao. Different Tao requires everyone to practice it. He only preaches the essence of the Tao. The process and path of enlightenment need to be walked by oneself.
Comparing the two, it is as if one has already arranged the future path of all sentient beings and cannot change it, while the other lives in the present, dares to innovate, and walks his own path.
There is no road in the world, but as more people walk on it, it becomes a road. The future needs to be created by yourself, rather than someone else arranging it for you.
It is not certain who is better between the two. The former has a direction and path in the early stage, and the cultivation speed is fast, but as you go to the back, the path becomes narrower, and in the end, it may become a dead end.
The latter has no road, so he walks and creates on his own. The early stage is very slow, but in the later stage, he will find that his road is getting wider and wider, all methods are unified, and different roads lead to the same goal.
However, for most people, they will choose the former, because they have long since lost their future and do not think too much about the future. It is human nature to take things as they come and follow the crowd.
Yuanshi didn't care whether others could understand it or not. He only handed over the general outline and origin of Tao to everyone, and others needed to be understood by themselves.
"Tao is the origin of the universe and the foundation of all things from the beginning. It is an eternal and absolute metaphysical existence that transcends the differences between subjectivity and objectivity, and transcends empirical categories such as time, space, motion, and cause and effect. It is invisible and intangible. An absolute existence that is heard, indescribable, and inconceivable.”
"Tao is the infinite ontology that transcends time and space. It is born in all things in the world, and is all-encompassing and omnipresent. It is expressed in all things."
"..."
When Yuanshi was preaching, there were no scenes of colorful flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses emerging from the ground. There was just Yuanshi's plain voice, echoing in the Zixiao Palace. There is no ear-splitting sound, no yellow bells, no whispers of heavenly sounds, no booming sounds of Taoism.
The reason why Hongjun had all kinds of strange phenomena when he was preaching was that the Taoist himself was Heavenly Dao, and Heavenly Dao recognized and rewarded the Tao he preached, all in a single thought of his. But when he arrived at Yuanshi, Yuanshi dismissed it.
There is no need for heaven to approve my way. My way is only for those who can understand it. If you don’t understand it, you have no connection with me. My way, if there is no way, it will be cleansing. What I have is just the plain and true way. Those who understand will naturally be intoxicated, as if they are wandering in the depths of the sea of Tao. Those who do not understand will only find it boring and boring, and the more they listen, the more uncomfortable they will become.
Not everyone is qualified to listen to my way.
"What's going on? Why can't I understand?"
"I can't understand it either. It's too obscure and difficult to understand. It's too profound."
"This Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't seem to be very good. He has a high level of cultivation and does not necessarily know how to preach. The Taoist ancestor is better at preaching."
"..."
Some people who didn't understand began to communicate and discuss below.
As the sermon continued, the water-like plain voice reverberated, and those who understood it had expressions of enjoyment on their faces, as if they had received an enlightenment. Each of them had a great improvement in their cultivation, their state of mind was infinitely elevated, and their realm soared.
However, those who don't understand will only feel agitated, with pain, confusion, and depression on their faces, all with a bitter look on their face.
Among them, those who have gained the most are those with high cultivation levels. Whether they are Hongjun, Nuwa, Hun Kun, etc., as well as Taishang, Tongtian, Yuxu Palace, and everyone from the human race, they have all gained a lot.
Although Yuanshi's Taoism is different from Hongjun's, he does not deny the truth of what Yuanshi said. Therefore, among everyone present, Hongjun actually gained the most, followed by Taixuan, and then Nuwa and others. Finally, some demons, wizards, and humans can become masters.
The higher the cultivation level and the higher the understanding, the deeper the understanding of the Tao taught by Yuanshi will be, and the more benefits will be obtained.
During this process, people continued to transform and break through. This was a change from the inside out. Everyone could see it. It was more like a reborn change. Many people were envious. Why didn't they have that kind of change? Comprehension and fate.
It's a pity that while these people envy others, they don't think about their own problems.
Ten thousand years later, Yuanshi began to keep silent. His sermon was over. Many people came to their senses at this time, and many people had deep resentment towards Yuan Shi, but it was difficult to speak out in front of Tianzun. Yuanshi knew all these things and he didn't care.
But there were also many people who made breakthroughs, showing joy on their faces, and kept thanking Yuan Shi: "Thank you, Heavenly Lord!"
Yuan Shi nodded lightly. The qualifications of these people were pretty good. As for the others, they didn't even understand Dao. They would be like that in this life and could only slowly follow the path arranged by Hongjun.
Next, there is Taixuan's sermon. Taixuan's way, just like its name, is mysterious and mysterious, unnameable, indescribable, unfeelable, and unknowable.
Taixuan preached, there is only one gate of all mysteries suspended in the hall, and all the great avenues are included in it, which is mysterious and mysterious.
Endless mysterious divine light spreads, and the fluctuations of Tao Yun flow, allowing others to comprehend.
Compared with the boringness of Yuanshi and the enjoyment of Hongjun, the Tao of Taixuan pays more attention to understanding. If you understand it, you will understand it. If you cannot understand it, you can still feel the cleansing of the rhyme of the Tao, making your Taoist heart and magical power more pure and stronger. Big increase.
Ten thousand years later, Taixuan closed the gate of all wonders and closed his eyes silently.
At this moment, Patriarch Hongjun finally spoke again and said: "The sermon is over. This time you will go back and understand what you have learned. After three Yuanhui, prepare to start a war. Then Pindao will inform all clans."
When the gods heard this, they did not dare to be negligent, and they all kowtowed and said, "Yes, Tao Ancestor!"
"Go." Hongjun said again.
The gods took orders and led their respective tribesmen towards the primitive world.
Yuan Shi also stood up, said "goodbye", and led everyone back to Kunlun Mountain in the chaos.
On the same spot, the four Hongjuns looked at the departing figures of Yuan Shi and others, and after a long time they sighed quietly:
"Yuanshi and Taixuan are our formidable enemies."
